Journal of Composites Science: A New Journal for Composite Materials, Structures and Experiments

The Journal of Composites Science is a new, online, open access journal, which aims to focus on advanced technology and the development of composites and composite structures. The journal will be an interdisciplinary forum on all aspects of composite materials processing and modelling such as classical and novel fiber reinforced composites, nanocomposites, biomedical composites, and energy composites. The modelling and non-destructive evaluation of composite materials and structures will be considered as well as material processing, manufacturing, material properties, and performances. Other aspects concerning repair, testing, and nanotechnology will also be covered. Research aspects concerning theoretical modelling and structural components are important for this journal, in order to present a clear and profound application of composite materials for science. Importance will also be given to physics, chemistry, and the mechanical characterization of composites. Due to the general complexity of such systems, the journal will focus on computational mechanics and numerical analysis. Therefore, research papers on numerical simulations of composite materials and structures can also be presented.
